The Outer Worlds 2 director bravely says Chrono Trigger is "the best JRPG ever and it's not even close" - and that it doesn't get enough credit for being one of the only ones where "you don't actually have to grind"

.

The Outer Worlds 2 game director Brandon Adler has said Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG ever made, and JRPG fans everywhere just kind of sat there and nodded their heads in general agreement.

For the youngins who might be missing out on the SNES classic, Chrono Trigger commonly beats out strong competitors like Final Fantasy 7 and Earthbound in lists of the best JRPGs of all time, including GamesRadar's. To be fair, it is a little more bold for Adler to go as far as to say "it's not even close," which he did on a new episode of Simon Parkin's My Perfect Console podcast, but still, saying anything positive about Chrono Trigger is like aura farming on r/JRPG.
